Pros: Surprisingly generous front seat space and decent 2nd-row room; smooth, linear acceleration
Cons: Complicated control layout; voice command system not always cooperative
CG Says: Acura’s compact SUV is unchanged for 2015. The RDX might not lead the premium-compact SUV class in any one area, but this is a vehicle that does just about everything well. A refined drivetrain, tossable handling, and a roomy, well-appointed cabin are its biggest strengths. Weaknesses include mediocre fuel economy, and a control interface that could do with less button clutter. The 2015 Acura RDX more than makes up for these shortcomings by offering lots of comfort, convenience, and safety features at reasonable-for-the-class prices. Value-conscious luxury buyers would do well to put this Acura at the top of their shopping lists.
